BSN Artiflex Soft Cast Padding 15 cm x 3 m is a non-woven padding bandage designed to provide a comfortable protective layer beneath plaster and synthetic casts. It can also be used as padding beneath compression bandages, particularly where even pressure distribution and cushioning are required. BSN documentation describes Artiflex as a multipurpose padding bandage for phlebological and lymphedema applications as well as cast under-padding.
The padding is made from synthetic fibres and is designed to be breathable, non-absorbent and easy to apply without creasing. Its non-absorbent construction helps maintain the padding effect in humid conditions, while the flexible material can conform to body contours during bandaging and cast application.
The 15 cm × 3 m size provides broad coverage and is suitable for healthcare professionals working with larger anatomical areas or applications requiring wider padding. The product is latex-free and can be autoclaved when sterile application is required, according to BSN product documentation.
